     Well, how does this translation sound? :
     "Low guage wound copper wire surrounded by foam and covered in
plastic."
     Sort of takes the "wow" edge off doesn't it?
 > This appears to be a silver cableThey are better than what was using
     It says copper up there not silver.  Regardless, the differences
between the two are the epitome of minimal performance wise, yet the
epitome of extreme when it comes to price difference.

     I've read 100% conflicting reviews from blind tests to
no-so-blind tests with Stereo Review at one end of the spectrum,
Stereophile at the other end, and most of the rest at various degrees
in-between.  I've also got a degree in Electronics, so I could give
you my opinion, but ultimately you're going to have to decide for
youself who's right.
     Personally, I'd find some well shielded, pure copper wire of
about 15 guage for interconnects and 10 or 12 gauge for speaker
cable with gold plated connectors.  It shouldn't cost you more than
$20 for the interconnects and more than a $1 or $2 a foot for the
speaker cable.  In fact, it should cost you far less if you
stay away from name brands.
